They may be considered in the context of introductory survey courses, and courses which are minor modifications of such survey courses---serving the following purposes: College teachers who are oriented to the values of research scientists and of graduate school activities tend to view introductory survey courses as the "foundation" for a professional career. Advanced courses build upon the foundations laid down in the introductory survey course---which must focus upon the values, technologies, and resources which are relevant to the professor's specialty. College professors who are oriented to the values of the practical applications of science to meet "humans' needs"---will tend to view introductory survey courses as places in which to acquire the facts, skills, and modes of approach for solving practical problems through objectivity, analysis, manipulation, planning, systems analysis, etc. The course must pack in all the practical information which it is possible to pack in---with a good introduction to the modern instruments of the professor's specialty. College professors who are oriented to the classical study of the humanities are likely to view introductory science courses as an opportunity to introduce the students to the history of great ideas. Such professors are likely to teach about what scientists have accomplished---with no intent of helping the students become scientific in their approach to their own life situations. The emphasis is likely to be historical/retrospective rather than prophetic/anticipatory. The story they tell tends to be an account of the great accomplishments of great scientists---put in the context of the past era in which the scientists lived. College professors in liberal arts colleges are in a context which says much about the liberation of their students through study and learning. Yet, rarely is there any profound interdepartmental criticism, much less a department of interdepartmental criticism. Rarely are students helped to transcend the biases, collusions, blindness, excesses, elitisms, etc. of one department---by a trans-disciplinary critique of that department from the perspectives of all other departments. The students are instead subjected to a buffet of collusive presentations by narrowed specialists. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
